Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1063: Nan Xin’s Ending (2)

"Cao Zhui is already dying. When we left this place, he barely holds on." The man left this place when he received message that Chen Yuan appointed another person as the Master. This also meant that he had lost his previous duties and had to return as soon as possible.         

    

"Nan Xin is still hanging on, but she might not be able to last long."     

Nan Hua nodded.     

She walked deeper. The light dimmed even more as there was barely any lantern left, but the darkness was not exactly a problem for Nan Hua. She easily went through a few turns before she finally noticed the last two rooms.     

The two rooms were made crudely and their door was also nothing more than a large stone that was used to block it. This would make it look as if the caves had simply fell in and trapped them inside.     

Truly, a good disguise.     

Nan Hua was not here to bother with this matter, though.     

She looked at one of them and saw a corpse of a man curling up at the corner. From the way it looked like, he had died not long ago. Presumably within a few hours until a day's time.     

"Bring his body to Zhang Family and burn it there."     

"Yes, Master."     

The blood poison was made by making these people ingested poisonous plant for a long period of time until their own blood alone contained enough poison to be made into poison. But at the same time, the poison would have destroyed their organs from inside little by little.     

Some people had higher poison resistance and could withstand it for a much longer time.

But some others couldn't withstand the huge intake of poison and ended up dying very quickly.     

Thunk!     

The sound of the rock rolling to the side could be heard.     

Nan Hua entered the dark cave and could see Nan Xin curling up at the side. By this time, she had long lost her previous appearance. She was so thin, with barely any strength left inside her body. Her clothes were dirty, but there was nothing else that she could use to cover herself either.     

She simply curled up there, dozing off.     

When the rock moved to the side, Nan Xin's body trembled instinctively. She couldn't see who was coming and her chapped lips opened before closing again. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair.     

"No… more…."     

Her voice was hoarse.     

She had long lost her health and beauty. By now, she was nothing more than a pile of bones.     

Nan Xin was already on the verge of death.     

Nan Hua crouched down beside Nan Xin and took her pulse. The result was terrifyingly bad. It has been a long time since Nan Xin was exposed to poison and it had long accumulated inside her body. Many of her organs were already failing and some didn't even function properly.     

It was a miracle for her to be able to stay alive until now.     

With her medical capabilities, Nan Hua knew very well that she was incapable of saving Nan Xin. She could at most prolong Nan Xin's life for a few more days. And that was with her having to be careful of the possibility medicine clashing within Nan Xin's body.     

She needed to take Nan Xin's blood to analyze the poisons' properties and properly identified them.         

    

If she gave the wrong medicine, Nan Xin would immediately die.     

"Do you want to live?"     

This question again.     

Nan Xin's eyes were filled with despair when she heard the same question repeated again. She didn't know who the person in front of her was and could no longer recognize her voices. All that she knew was that the person in front of her was not the one who usually came.     

The one who usually came was a man.     

But this person was a woman.     

Does she want to live?     

If the question was asked a long time ago, Nan Xin's answer would definitely be a big yes. She wanted to live. That was the sole reason why she didn't care about her family members and even decided to sacrifice them.     

But after experiencing that hell in that place, Nan Xin kept on feeling that everything was unfair. Other people could live well and experienced beautiful life. Meanwhile, she was tortured to death and had to serve those people.     

She felt immense relief when she managed to get away.     

At that time, she swore that she would figure out a way to run away and made sure that she would be able to stay alive. She wanted to prove that even when she was at her end, she could still rise up.

But reality slapped her hard.     

She met with a person she couldn't fight back and had to stay in this damn place for such a long time.     

Nan Xin could no longer remember how many times she wished to get out. But there was simply no chance for her to do so.     

She had to stay here.     

Eat the poison, have her blood drawn and then continued to be locked up.     

Time passed.     

And Nan Xin didn't know the difference between days and night. She didn't know how long she had been in this place and what had happened in the outside world while she was here.     

All that she knew was that she felt extremely tired.     

"No… I don't want to live." Nan Xin just wanted to die. But she couldn't even kill herself. These people forced her to eat and drink just enough to allow her to live, yet it wouldn't give her any chance to resist.     

Nan Hua glanced at Nan Xin and dropped a knife beside Nan Xin's body.     

"You're free now."     

Nan Xin was stunned.     

She struggled to get up and saw that the person who talked to her had left. Her eyes landed at the knife on the ground. Slowly, Nan Xin picked it up and stabbed it to her own stomach.     

Thud.         

    

Nan Xin looked into a distance as she could feel her life fading away. She closed her eyes. She felt very tired. At the very least, she wanted to choose her own ending, no matter how miserable it was.
